Popular South African financial advisor, Nicolette Mashile whose Facebook page, ‘Financial Literacy with Nicolette Mashile’ has recently become a hit amongst social media users is set to speak at the Key Wealth annual Financial Education Conference on 9th November 2017.

The conference to be hosted at Travel lodge will be held under the theme, ‘Financial Education for Wealth Creation.’ Mashile is a Social Entrepreneur, Property Investor and Speaker in the Field of Financial Literacy, Inclusion and Freedom. She is a broadcast media personality and hosts a youth TV Talk Show and Business Radio Show.

As an Investment Adviser licensed by the Non-Bank Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority Act (NBFIRA), and a training consultancy accredited by BQA, Key Wealth offers modules such as Personal Development; Emotional Intelligence; Budgets and managing money as well as selling smarter and Entrepreneurship.

In an interview with WeekendLife, Key Wealth Chief Executive Officer, Mogomotsi France said he hoped the conference would up-skill attendants’ financial IQ. “We see a lot challenges caused by financial illiteracy and not understanding how money works so this conference tries to bequeath people with skills on how they can best position themselves in this current economic climate of so much liquidity,” he said.

He further said that the conference will put experts in one room who will be speaking on different topics of wealth creation so people can have a better understanding and competitive edge on wealth creation and how money works. “Money will never work for you if you don’t understand how it works, so we care to disseminate such information on how to make money work for you,” he said.

France further said that, “There are lies that we have been told, just to mention a few, Buying a house in Gaborone is an asset; to show that you are working you have to buy a car; a Job is the solution to capitalizing ourselves while in fact, it’s a short term solution. We want to erase these lies with this conference as it focuses on rewiring and re-igniting the intrinsic philosophies people have about debt and money at a larger scale,” he said.

He asserted that, Mashile is the highlight for the event because she has a large following on social media (Facebook) because of her viral financial advice videos. She said a lot of people can relate with her videos as the language she uses is captivating and sells information well. He said an Early bird ticket sells at P585 which is 10% of the actual standard ticket. The Standard ticket is P650 (plus a free book Success on Purpose by Sibusiso Kgosikhumo), VIP tickets are P850 and a corporate ticket (group of 10) is P6000.00. Other keynote speakers to be featured at the conference include author, speaker and an entrepreneur, Sibusiso Kgosikhumo, Life Coach, Ntombi Setshwaelo and many other financial experts of note.
